On to Westport

Next show up is Westport. This is the only outdoor show I do in the western part of the state. The Westport people are a lot like the West Hartford people--they really support their downtown and they always show up at the events. I have been at Westport show when it was over 100 degrees and their were still plenty of people walking the show.

It is a tough show to do for several reasons. First there are only around 135 spots and its tough to get in on a regular basis. I was lucky this year. Set up starts at 5:00 am on Saturday, the show starts at 10 am and goes till 7 in the evening. Sunday it's 10-6, two very long days. Main Street is closed off for the event. Loading and unloading is quite a hassle and requires tremendous patience. However the weather seems to be going to cooperate--both days forecast in the low 80s.
